Game Preview
The Lakers got LeBron back, but their chemistry has been broken. Three defeats in a row, two of them at home, signal that something isn’t right. Maybe that is because of their fitness, but on the other hand, it could be that the rivals read through the Lakers’ game plan.
Losing to Orlando 118-106 exposed problems with creativity under pressure. Only 19 assists prove our claim. Luka had 32 points, seven assists, and boards, though he shot 9-for-23 from the field. LeBron scored 24.
The Pacers are on fire, posting their fifth consecutive win this Monday night. The rivals were the Minnesota Timberwolves, 119-103. We didn’t expect to see them this good, and the main reason for their win here was stopping the T-Wolves from hitting threes, 9-for-35.
On the other hand, Obi Toppin had 20 buckets, making six of his nine three-point attempts. Tyrese Haliburton scored 24 and had 11 assists.
